I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager (republished today), told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't... the-villager.ghost.io/the-village-...
The Village Message Board
Its authenticity was discredited because of his reputation, but also because he was quick with gin at the time and wearing an item of knitwear back to front.

Definitely not a Labor Liberal National Party stitch up though.
“In Wannon, if today you donate $1,500 to Liberal MP Dan Tehan, your donation is tax deductible. If today you donate the same to independent opponent Alex Dyson, it is not. Dan has a copy of the electoral roll; Alex has to pay tens of thousands for the same info.”

Sickening.

“Benjamin Netanyahu gave Donald Trump a golden pager in a symbolic reference to the Israeli covert operation that turned Hezbollah devices into lethal explosives in an attack last year.”

‘Great operation’ behind Trump’s golden pager gift from Netanyahu
The US president responded by giving the Israeli prime minister a photo of the two men from the latter’s US visit, inscribed: “To Bibi, a great leader.”

@dwnews: A Canadian task force found that WeChat accounts linked to the Chinese government launched "coordinated" and "malicious" content against Chrystia Freeland who is in the running to replace Justin Trudeau as PM.

If you haven't listened to this extraordinary episode, in which @brianklaas.bsky.social fillets the carcass of Trump's first week to its most consequential elements, I would strongly urge you to do so. This sort of clarity is a rare commodity.

It is a real master-Klaas. 😜
“Trump simultaneously says we should execute drug dealers while pardoning the largest drug market creator in human history. And so he is creating one of the hallmarks of authoritarian rule, which is a tier of justice that says: if you’re my friend, if you’re an ally, the rules don’t apply.”
NEW EPISODE 🚨

@sturdyalex.bsky.social and @pimlicat.bsky.social go deep on Trump’s executive orders, pardons, crypto pushing & what it means for us in 🇬🇧 and 🇪🇺, ably assisted by @brianklaas.bsky.social
